📅 Monday, 11th August 2025

⏰ Livestream Q&A from 7:00pm - 8:10pm

‍

Join us for an empowering evening with an honest kōrero Q&A on the women's health topics every wāhine deserves to know with our panel of experts.

‍

This event will be livestreamed on:

Tend's Facebook

Tend's YouTube

‍

Your speakers

‍

• Cecilia Robinson – Founder's story: Why Women's Health Week matters
• Dame Valerie Adams – Olympic champion sharing her powerful story about prioritising your health
• Denise Cosgrove – The Selwyn Foundation's commitment to women's wellness

‍

Your women's health expert panel

‍

• Dr Eileen Sables (Tend GP) – Breast health, cervical screening & menstrual health
• Dr Amelia Ryan (Obstetrician & Gynaecologist) – Period pain, fertility & ovarian cancer
• Dr Megan Ogilvie (Endocrinologist) – Menopause, PMDD & bone health essentials

‍

Too often, women's hauora gets pushed to the back burner. We put everyone else first – our whānau, our work, our communities.

‍

This evening is your permission slip to prioritise yourself. To ask the questions that keep you up at night. To connect with other wāhine and to learn from experts who genuinely care about your wellbeing.

We're incredibly grateful to our sponsors, partners, experts and passionate ambassadors who are joining us to bring women's health to the forefront this week 💜

‍

The team from Tend will be at GPCME in Christchurch!

‍

Come see us for a chat about hybrid care, smarter tools - and how we’re putting women’s health in the spotlight.

Swing by and join the kōrero.

Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr Graham Denyer, will also be there reflecting on the lessons learned from over 75,000 AI consultations using Tend's own AI Scribe tool.

Lock in 8:30-8:50am on Saturday 16 August in the Plenary for this talk.

‍

Older women in the Point Chevalier area are invited to come along to our 'pop-up' health station for free blood pressure testing and hearing checks.

‍

They can also have an informal chat with our health practitioners about any concerns or queries they may have and get information and advice on older women's health issues generally.  
‍

The health station will be available from 10.00am to 1.00pm in the Lichfield Towers cafe extension area at Selwyn Village and no appointments are necessary.

‍

Use it as an opportunity to reflect on where you are with your health checks, and as a reminder to follow up with your GP or health practitioner if you’re overdue any preventative screenings or other important check-ups.

‍

Island Breeze is a community programme bringing Pasifika families together for a time of fellowship, creativity, and cultural celebration.

‍

Our sessions are filled with traditional crafting, singing, and storytelling, and offer a space to connect, share, and uplift one another.

Most of our crafts have a health-related focus to drive awareness and encourage positive wellbeing within our communities, including nurses checking vital signs.

‍

At our next session, we’re excited to welcome a health promoter from Cancer Society who will talanoa with us about Pasifika health outcomes—adding another layer of meaningful engagement to our gatherings for Daffodil Day.

Island Breeze runs every third Thursday of the month in Ashburton at the Ashburton Art Gallery, thanks to our partnership with the Art Gallery and Plunket.

‍

These special sessions are child-friendly and provide a fantastic opportunity for our Pasifika families in Hakatere to celebrate their heritage and strengthen community ties.

📣 Walk-ins available TODAY at Tend Linwood! 

‍

We’re making it easier for wāhine to stay on top of their health.

If you're overdue for your cervical screening, you can get it done for free at all Tend clinics on Friday 15 August.

This free service is available to all women – whether you're enrolled with Tend or not.

‍

Tend Linwood is offering walk-in appointments during clinic opening hours (8am-5pm)

Hon Nicola Grigg, Minister for Women and MP for Selwyn, will be visiting on the day!

‍

Screening for cervical cancer has recently got easier with the introduction of the HPV test which replaces the "smear test" for many patients. The HPV test is a simple vaginal swab. You can choose to do a self-test or get a nurse to do it.

‍

Let’s make time for our health – you’re worth it. 💜
